How do children learn good manners?

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

Ensuring kids have manners is a perennial preoccupation for parents and caregivers.

How, then, do you teach good manners to children?

Modelling good manners around the home and in your own interaction with others is obviously crucial.

But there’s a clear uniting theme when it comes to manners in Australia: in Australian English, good manners centre on honouring personal autonomy, egalitarianism and not appearing to tell people what to do.
